The Pit in My Cherry

Farah Faucet's starring role in "The Burning Bed" is the inspiration that gave me the strength I needed to escape my abuser. Most likely I would not be here to write my autobiography if I had not left my abuser. In hopes of helping others living in the same situation to get out before the violence escalates and they are possibly killed, which I would beg for him to do. I had only one reason to continue living, to find a way out and save my children from the abuse we suffered by escaping and finding a new life together.
